My name is Mick and I am Suzanne’s husband. I usually run the tech stuff and stay behind the scenes, but I wanted to make sure everyone had a chance to checkout our Facebook group, Simply Keto Karma. This a is pretty active group with a ton of support and encouragement. You will find recipes, videos, and great conversation. This is a judgment free zone so feel free to join in and connect with others. We only ask that we keep the conversation friendly and no sales, self-promotion, or event promotion (this is to keep the topics about keto, support and encouragement).

As many of you know, I lost 120 lbs simply by switching to the ketogenic lifestyle! After almost three years later, I decided to write a book. Simply Keto is a practical and approachable guide to starting the ketogenic diet, filled with tips, advice, encouragement and over 100 truly easy low carb recipes!

As many of you know, the ketogenic lifestyle has completely changed my life, and it was truly an honor to share about keto today on The Today Show! I have no doubt that this lifestyle will change so many people lives. Thank you to all of you for your support and love!

If you are interested in keto, my new book Simply Keto will guide you though everything you need to know to get started and be successful, as well as over 100 easy, real life recipes! Link to order here!

Lots of you have been asking me to get back on YouTube, so I wanted to be transparent and share why I needed to take a break from filming. I plan to film more as I push my comfort zones, so please subscribe to my channel. Thank you all for your support and love!

My goodness where has this week, wait…where has this YEAR gone? Can you guys believe there are only a little over 12 weeks left until 2018?!

I’ve been busy finishing the final edits of my new book, Simply Keto, as well as working on a redesign for this blog (coming VERY soon…), and of course my most important job, raising my beautiful little girl.
Yesterday I had bit of a rough (emotional) day. My daughter’s school had their first field trip, and it was the first time that all of the parents were together for an extended period of time. Although I love to meet new people, I was nervous and full of anxiety. I had this overwhelming feeling that I didn’t fit in, or that I wasn’t good enough, or as “put together” as the other parents.

You see, I always thought that losing weight would make those feelings go away, but the truth is that this is an ongoing battle, with plenty of past hurt and self-doubt to repair. I spent a lot of years walking with my head down, and honestly, for many years I assumed that some people wouldn’t want to get to know me, or would pass judgement on me simply because I was morbidly obese. I’ve come to realize that this is a twofold problem; of course, with half of the problem being me.

While the world can be cruel and some people may pass judgement, my self-doubt and anxiety held me back yesterday just as much as it did when I was obese. Do people treat me differently now, yes…but in some ways, that’s because on most days I’m more outgoing, more present, and I let people in…well let’s just scratch yesterday on that front because well, it doesn’t always work out perfectly.

My point is that losing weight doesn’t solve everything, it’s not the answer to everything you’ve been looking for or feeling…the truth is that you hold the key to the happiness you deserve as you are right now. Self-love is always a work in progress, so don’t put of loving yourself until you reach your “goal” weight. I was sad and disappointed with myself yesterday, but today I’m processing it all and learning from it. Life isn’t always as pretty and put together as it all seem, but you know what…scars and wounds of the past teach us compassion, they have a way of showing us the things in life that truly matter, and reveal an inner beauty that is rarely found in someone who hasn’t faced their fair share of struggles. Use your pain to make you better, not bitter.

Simply Keto

I am SO excited to officially announce what I’ve been working on for the last year! I’m writing a book called Simply Keto! A little over two years ago when I started this journey I never would have imagined making this very announcement. I had spent so many years spinning my wheels, only to gain more weight, and lose more hope with each failed “diet” attempt.

I’ve poured my heart and soul into this book with every detail of my weight loss journey, helpful information, advice, tips, and over 100 easy recipes. Simply Keto will release in early December, but is available for order now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Indie Bound. I’ll be sure to share more soon, but I’m beyond excited to share the cover with you all today! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being the best support system I could have ever asked for.

“The ketogenic diet, a low-carb, high-fat way of eating, is remarkably effective at transforming people’s lives, helping them shed pounds and find relief from common health conditions. No one knows this better than Suzanne Ryan. In her quest to overcome her lifelong struggle with her weight, she stumbled upon the ketogenic diet and decided to give it a shot. In just one year, she lost more than 100 pounds and reclaimed control over her health and well-being.

Suzanne has shared every detail of her transformation, from the very first days of starting keto to her most recent successes, on her popular blog, Keto Karma, as well as on her YouTube channel and Instagram page. Her first book, Simply Keto, isn’t just a cookbook; it’s a portal into Suzanne’s life and dieting success—how she accomplished the incredible feat of losing almost 40 percent of her total body weight and developed a healthier and more balanced relationship with food. In this book, she shares everything you need to know to get started and find your own success.”

Let’s face it, when people hear you’re on a low carb, HIGH FAT diet, one of the first questions is regarding cholesterol and heart health. I’m so excited to share these results with you! Keto WIN! Continue Reading
